Heavy Indian accent, claimed to be from TalkTalk and knew my name, claimed my internet had downloaded some viruses and tried to talk me though a process to allow him to connect to my PC which begins with running EVENTVWR - an old and tired scam. My concern is how he had my phone number, name & knew who my broadband was with - would it be a coincidence that TalkTalk database was hacked last year? Would it also be a coincidence that I've just started receiving dozens of spam emails?

16/12/2016, 14.30, Foreign male voice with Indian subcontinent or perhaps Asian accent. "Hello I'm calling about your Windows computer". I didn't give him time to say more. I asked him very strongly and firmly but politely to please take my name off his list, I didn't need his help or services and to stop calling me. Now more timid voice said "sorry for bothering you."
Not sure why these guys keep trying, we're all mostly more savvy than they are.

Called at 9am saying (in Asian accent) "My name is Richard I am calling you from Microsoft about your computer"
When I challenged him and asked where he was calling from he said "London"
I asked hi who he was working for, he continued to talk over me.
I asked him to leave me his number and I would call him back.
His reply was "f*** you!" and he hung up ! Charming indeed!
